Tree Appraisal & Tree Valuation

Trees are not only beautiful, but add financial value to the property as well. A tree appraisal establishes the monetary value of your trees — an important fact to know since some healthy mature specimen trees could be worth as much as tens of thousands of dollars.

The majority of tree appraisals are done after removal or damage of some kind has taken place, but the best time to obtain an accurate value is while a tree is standing. The certified arborists at The Consulting Group can give you a realistic tree appraisal for determining property value, tax deductions, and adjusting insurance claims.

While the aesthetic value of trees is subjective, the Council of Tree and Landscape Appraisers (CLTA) publishes standard guidelines for determining urban and residential tree values that are widely endorsed as the standard when the appraisal is conducted by qualified experts. The Consulting Group’s Arborists are also well versed in tree appraisal methods including value loss,
reasonable restoration, species and class ratings, replacement cost and the trunk formula method.

"Speaking as Mayor of Briarcliff Manor, SavATree has contributed time to help protect some Hemlocks in our Law Park, which is really the showplace of our Village. They have also provided advice for the care of some of our sensitive park trees) i.e. a stand of Japanese Black Pine in a park jutting out in the Hudson River), and care of damaged trees along some of our roads. I wanted to bring this to your attention and thank SavATree for their efforts and contribution to improving the quality of life in our village. The Friends of Rockwood Park, the Rockefeller State Park and the public are indebted to SavATree for the time and effort it has contributed to rescuing these beautiful, valuable and very special trees."

"I have been very happy with SavATree's services. In particular, their Arbor Patrol program gives me peace of mind knowing that someone is regularly scouting for insect, disease and structural issues before they accelerate and threaten the health of our trees and plantings."

"SavATree's crosscut sawing activity at Historic Hudson Valley's River Day festival at Van Cortlandt Manor was a wonderful addition to the event and a huge hit with our visitors. As always, your staff did a superb job- the skill with which they interact with the public is just extraordinary. All of us at Historic Hudson Valley are most grateful for SavATree's partnership, both as a steward of our historic landscape and as a presenter of dynamic programs that enliven our special events."

"What touched me were the cooperative spirit and the energy and enthusiasm of the people at SavATree. There are so many institutions that are worthy of some kind of an altruistic spirit, and for our school to be selected for an Arbor Day activity is an honor. More then that, Steve Skyer and the people he works with spent a whole day with us. SavATree went out on a limb to plant and root a future for our school."

"Let me say that Vassar's association with SavATree has been very positive and we are achieving great success in managing our campus trees in terms of safety and aesthetics. And our insurance carrier is quite pleased with this effort. Vassar is pleased with SavATree and the work being performed on campus."

"The Pleasantville Country Club has had the benefit of SavATree's tree care services for more than ten years. Our experience with SavATree has been a very good one. We have found the staff to be very knowledgeable in all aspects of tree and shrub care. Equally impressive has been the reliability and enthusiasm of the staff members we have dealt with through the years."

It is with pleasure that I can comment on the work done recently by your great work crew. As they are representatives of your company, you are very fortunate to have such a polite, professional, and exceptionally safe work crew. Work conditions don't allow for conversation, and in spite of that, they were able to communicate via hand and eye signals that enabled them to work in a highly efficient manner. Their appearance, manners and excellent equipment, make for a winning combination.
